Our History

Killean Primary School was built in the 1890s to serve the needs of 4 - 11 year old boys and girls living in the Killean area of the Parish of Upper Killeavy. The school is situated in an area of beautiful scenery outside the town of Newry and currenty has an enrolment of 131 pupils.The Minister of Education has recently approved a £1.5 million investment in Killean PS as part of the School Enhancement Programme. This investment will provide the school with a new multi purpose hall, which will include new kitchen facilities, renovations to the interior of the existing building and a new roof on the existing building. This is a very exciting time for all involved with Killean PS.
